As soon as the official made a move, the troublemaker didn't even have a chance to resist, so he was directly gaged and tied up.

Jiang Chen stepped forward with the long sword at his waist, and his sharp gaze swept over the crowd.

"In recent days, there have been a number of murders in the capital caused by eating poisoned food by mistake, and the emperor was very angry when he learned about it, and ordered a strict investigation.

Whoever knows the clues of the underground grain merchants must report them truthfully to the imperial court and must not conceal them. ”

Hearing him say this, some people in the crowd couldn't help but question.

"In this way, the life of An Guogongtie, who donated poisoned food, is definitely not guaranteed."

"After all, he was the one who made this bad head."

"It should be strictly investigated, otherwise everyone will be like this, and how will the people in the disaster area live."

"As for the case of An Guogong." Jiang Chen spoke again, and the appropriate pause caused everyone to look at him, "Emperor Shengming, it has been ascertained that there are many doubts in this case, and they are all related to the head of the Tuntian Bureau, who is in charge of guarding the granary. ”

"The head of the Tuntian Department?"

"Why does this have anything to do with the Tuntian Department again?"

Jiang Chen continued to explain: "An hour ago, the granary of Xicheng collapsed, and Xiao Che, the director of the Tuntian Bureau, has an unshirkable responsibility. ”

In this way, An Guogong is likely to be wronged. It's just that how to explain the poisoned food? It can't fall from the sky, can it? ”

"Could it be that the Tuntian Department guarded and stole themselves, colluded with underground grain merchants, and replaced new rice with poisoned grain?"

"When you say that, I finally figure it out. No wonder the gangsters of the three underground grain merchants just now wanted to provoke Princess Xiao, it turned out that they were the murderers who blamed An Guogong. ”

"I see......"

Someone in the crowd cooperated with Jiang Chen to guide public opinion, and the situation was reversed in a blink of an eye. The people who originally spurned the Anguo Mansion changed their minds in a blink of an eye, and pointed the finger at the underground grain merchants and the Tuntian Bureau.

"It must be strictly investigated!"

"Yes, we can't let these unscrupulous officials and businessmen harm the people."

"The Tuntian Department must give an explanation......

Su Huaixiao sat in the carriage and watched coldly as these people vented their emotions with righteous indignation. After this incident, it is impossible for Xiao Che to retreat with his whole body.

Since the prince wanted to drag him into the water, he simply muddied the water!

"Princess Xiao."

Since the other party appeared, An Yueli has been standing quietly, and only when she heard the man's call at this moment did she stand up again.

"Lord Wang?"

"There may be wounded people when the granary collapses, since you are here for free treatment, are you willing to accept the wounded and provide them with free medical treatment?"

An Yueli hooked her lips, "It is incumbent." ”

……

……

The entire rescue lasted three days.

After all the food was rescued, the collapsed granary was finally presented to everyone.

On the Golden Palace, Su Huaixiao asked people to move the decaying foundation up for the emperor to see.

"The so-called sturdy granary of Director Xiao has long been damaged by rainwater. Storing new rice in such a granary, even without rat and rainwater pollution, will accelerate spoilage. ”

Looking at the honeycomb-shaped foundation that had been eaten by termites and other creatures, the emperor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Bastard! I had only recently ordered the granary to be repaired. This is how the Tuntian Department deceived and fooled me! ”

Accompanied by his rage, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down in panic and begged for mercy.

"The emperor is angry."

Only Su Huaixiao only restrained his eyebrows, and his expression was always indifferent.

"Spread my will, remove Xiao Che from the post of director of the Tuntian Department, and go to prison!"

Xiao Che suffered a disaster, marking the loss of two available talents for the crown prince in one go. He gritted his back molars hatefully and glanced at Su Huaixiao unwillingly.

"Father is wise, a person like Xiao Che who is a vegetarian is indeed guilty of ten thousand deaths. It's just that An Guogong's donation of poisoned food is also conclusive, and he asked his father to punish him severely. ”

"The three hundred stone of new grain that An Guogong originally handed over has been found." Su Huaixiao spoke again, catching the other party off guard, "According to the confession of the underground grain merchants, they have admitted that they have been using the loopholes in the granary to steal grain. In order not to be discovered, the new rice was replaced with poisoned old grain. ”

"Impossible!" The prince retorted in panic, "The granary is heavily guarded, and outsiders can't enter it at all." ”

"Yes, outsiders can't get in, so naturally they can only be answered by people inside."

"......," the prince choked, "what do you mean?" ”

Su Huaixiao analyzed slowly, "Then we will not know until the investigation of Chief Xiao is over." ”

"You!"

"That's enough." The emperor's deep and majestic voice sounded, interrupting the dispute between the two, "Prince, you have been in charge of disaster relief in Quzhou. Then I will order you to hurry up and send the food to the disaster area, and there will be no mistake.

As for Xiao Che, he can't be the master at the top, and he will die to benefit the people, the corpse will be vegetarian, the prison guards will steal, and it will be difficult to atone for his sins. Exile from the house, execute it immediately! ”

"Father...... the emperor" The prince still wanted to intercede, but was stopped by the emperor's eyes, "The ministers should take Xiao Che as a warning and not commit it again." As the prince, he is an example and set an example. ”

Facing the emperor's oppressive eyes, the prince swallowed silently.

"Yes, my son obeys."

After some thrilling twists and turns, the vigorous poisoned grain case finally came to an end.

When the emperor ordered the release of An Guogong and his family, An Yueli came to the gate of the prison to wait for him as soon as possible.

The cell door slowly opened, and An Guogong and Yue Shi supported each other and couldn't wait to run out.

"Come out, sir, we can finally get out of that hellish place!"

"Quick! Send me home, I don't want to stay in this place for a moment. ”

An Yueli ignored the anxious appearance of the two monkeys, and stared closely at the exit of the prison until the familiar figure appeared.

"Mother."

She quickly caught up with her and hugged Mrs. Jiang distressedly.

Fuyan and the others also quickly stepped forward and put on a new cloak for her.

"Madame has lost weight, and her face is not very good, she must have suffered a lot in prison, right?"

Mrs. Jiang smiled faintly, "Fortunately, there is a prince to take care of it, and no one dares to snub us." ”

Thinking of the past few days of running back and forth to investigate the collapse of the granary, An Yueli felt a faint longing while being grateful.

"Yueli, what are you thinking?"

Hearing Mrs. Jiang's call, she suddenly came back to her senses.

"It's nothing, Mother, let's go home first."

The mother and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they want to sit together. On the carriage back home, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but ask about the investigation of the case.

"Yueli, how did you help the Guogong Mansion clear its suspicions?"

"Actually, the prince and I didn't defend my father, but just used another thing to distract the emperor's attention."

"Speaking of God, it is also the guidance of God, just when we were having a headache about how to deal with Xiao Che of the Tuntian Department, the granary of Xicheng collapsed.

Later, in the investigation, Wang Yezi found that some people in the Tuntian Department were greedy for the repaired silver taels, which caused the granary to fall into disrepair. As the principal, Xiao Che cannot be completely ignorant, and he is now the prince's man. ”

"Therefore, the prince guided the focus of the case to Xiao Che, so that the emperor ignored the charges of the Anguo Mansion."

After listening to the explanation, Mrs. Jiang sighed deeply.

"I just hope that after this incident, your father and the Yue clan can learn a lesson."

"There will definitely be lessons to be learned, and they will see it very quickly."
